"When you don't convert chances, you're going to get a lot of scores like this, where it goes from bad to worse in a hurry. It's very frustrating to be a defender in that position."

And heads coach Robin Fraser was also critical of his side, saying that the defensive part of Chivas' play has to dramatically improve.

"We simply have to be better in the back," Fraser said. "It's frustrating. The defending is what kept us in the hunt at the start of the year, and the last couple of games the defending just hasn't been as good as it needs to be."
